Hi there,
I'll be traveling to Norway with my boyfriend at the end of July/early August. We'd like to do a glacier walk and the Besseggen ridge hike, with the itinerary we're looking at it will make the most sense to do these on back-to-back days. We're both in our late 20s and are fit, but we are not fitness nuts.
With regards to the glacier hike, I've contacted Jotunheimen glacier guides (http://jotunheimenglacierguides.com/) about their Blue Ice Trek, but they haven't written me back (~1 week later). Do you have any recommendations regarding guided glacier walks near Lom (we'll be coming from Geiranger the previous day, then headed to Gjendesheim after the walk)? We're looking for something 5-6 hours long, scenic but not too strenuous, as we want to be rested for Besseggen the next day.
Regarding the Besseggen ridge hike, as I understand it one should prepare for cold/wet weather regardless of what it looks like that morning, and pack all necessary food for the day. Beyond that we're just planning on a comfortable backpack, plenty of water, good hiking boots and a GPS and map, anything else I should consider as far as packing?
Many thanks,
Julianne
